Ediacaran Period

This is the third and final period of the Neoproterozoic Era, as well as the entire Proterozoic Eon. It is followed by the Phanerozoic Eon.

This period stepped it up in life, especially in the oceans. Dickinsonia and sponges and early arthropods dominated the seas for most of this period. Trilobites would appear in the next period. These animals are referred as Ediacaran Biota. The Cambrian Explosion would be next.
